http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18BL7MKjtZM Standing waves at a beach
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PevRZAxDxZw Watch this as the waves interfere and the aplitudes are added together

Refraction
Wave Changes Speed
Wave Changes Direction
Wave Changes Wavelength
Wave does not change frequency - Same number going in same number going out
Snells Law
